For the second time this season, Vikings wide receiver Bernard Berrian was put in the inactive list even though he was healthy. Coach Leslie Frazier wouldn't say why, but he tells the Pioneer Press it'll be something he'll talk about "this week."

Bernard Berrian is expected to be back in the Vikings' lineup this weekend against the Chicago Bears. The wide receiver was benched during Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Head coach Leslie Frazier says he doesn't "foresee any future problems" from Berrian.

Most of the speculation about Coach Leslie Frazier's reason for benching receiver Bernard Berrian focused on poor play or a Twitter dust-up with a state lawmaker. It turns out a failure to make it to team meetings may have been the real impetus.

Wide receiver Bernard Berrian was released from the Minnesota Vikings today. The news comes after Berrian was benched Sunday against Green Bay -- his second healthy scratch of the season. This year, Berrian has caught just seven passes in five games.

After being deactivated as a healthy scratch two of the last three weeks, the Vikings cut Bernard Berrian Tuesday. Afterward, Berrian issued a statement on his website saying he was blessed to have played in Minnesota for three-and-a-half years, and that he views this as an opportunity to grow as a player and bring his strengths to a new organization.

A week ago the Vikings cut Bernard Berrian, now the wide receiver is being sued by an interior design company. Berrian allegedly hasn't payed up on $204,000 worth of interior design work done on his 20th floor penthouse in the Ivy Tower in Minneapolis.

Coach Leslie Frazier says receiver Bernard Berrian was deactivated as a 'coach's decision' and had nothing to do with his well-publicized Twitter battle with state Rep. John Kriesel. Although he didn't offer specifics, Frazier suggested the decision was a locker room issue.

Sure, Leslie Frazier is encouraged by the play of rookie QB Christian Ponder. But he also has a laundry list of problems to deal with, with Bernard Berrian and Chris Cook topping the agenda.
